How to use

Step 5 Moisturisers Moisturiser SPF 30

How to use a moisturiser

Apply as the last step in your morning skincare routine. Allow a moment to dry before applying make-up.

Here's a step-by-step of your morning & evening skincare application.

Step 1: Cleanser

Wet your face and apply a small amount with gentle, circular motions. Rinse well. To remove heavy makeup, repeat or use with a clean, wet washcloth.

Step 2: Toner

With your fingertips or a cotton pad, gently apply over the face and neck. Do not rinse.

Step 3 Exfoliants

Gently apply with your fingertips or a cotton pad over the face and neck, including the eye area (avoid lash line and eyelids). Do not rinse. Start slowly: Apply every other day and note your skin's response. Then use up to twice daily.

Step 4 Treatments

Dispense a pearl-sized amount to your hand and apply once or twice daily to the face, neck and eye area.

Step 5 Moisturisers

As the last step of your skincare routine, apply a small amount of your moisturiser once or twice daily to the face and neck. For SPF moisturisers, apply liberally at least 15 minutes before stepping into sun exposure. Then, it is best to reapply every two hours!
